BirdMan1 replies on Jul 22, 2020:

there have been those who have insisted that the Jews' presence in banking was/is a sign of their devious intents. They forget, or never wanted to recognize, in the first place, that as the NT rails against usery, money lending was, in essence, "given" to the Jews to do. In the U.S., the large presence of Jews in entertainment, especially Hollywood, was the direct result of the WASPs not letting them into American banking! But, having been taught to demean the Jewish people from childhood, it has been easy for people to take their learned bias and run with it.

There are other narcissists among us, too many, but his version is much expanded, and, happily rarer.

BirdMan1 replies on Jul 21, 2020:

@nogod4me, @Surchin From the preface to the middle of page 4, we find: Denial is “…based on a preexisting, affective attachment to a particular conclusion.” It is “…the emotionally motivated rejection (or embrace) of a factual claim in the face of strong evidence to the contrary.” “Our interests and emotional needs affect not just our values and choices, but also our factual picture of the world around us…Our picture of the world is distorted by self-interest, peer influence,prejudice, fear,and favoritism and we are often not aware of the influence our motives have on our factual understanding of of the evidence for our conclusions.” “The phenomenon of denial…is dependent on motivated cognition. ‘Motivated cognition’ refers to the ‘unconscious tendency of individuals to process information in a manner that suits some end or goal extrinsic to the formation of accurate beliefs.’ Motivated cognition happens behind the scenes, but is closely tied to the more overt rationalization of belief,” defined “as the process of retroactively inventing defensive justifications for holding those beliefs formed via motivated cognition. Motivated cognition is about belief formation, whereas rationalization is about maintaining and defending those beliefs."

@Pralina1 Having the data not go to the CDC is unthinkable for you, because you are not a Malignant Narcissist! But, he is, and he is desperate to bend the facts so they do not damn him...so we will all DAMN him! Motherbanger! Remember, by the time the next pandemic shows up, he will be long gone!

I can’t help wondering who in this Country, would join such a ’candlestine’ unaccountable force? That by its very nature, is intended to undermine a democracy! Somehow this has got to get reversed, this is no better than the KKK, they just wear camouflage instead of sheets!

Trump is putting out a "trial balloon," to see how much blowback he gets on this...can he go on escalating the federally sponsored terrorism, or not? I'm quite sure Barr is deeply implicated.

Because it is "Godless." We have the "under God" bit of crap in the national anthem, because Eisenhower wanted to amplify the differences between the US, and the USSR. I think there might also be a bit of trying to associate Atheism with the Communist "threat.

Not Communism. Communism has never had a real chance (for better, or worse) on the planet. whatever regime has claimed is has been a dictatorship, instead. Maybe it would have had a chance in Chile, except for American intervention. Castro may have started out with good intentions, but clamped down on the proletariat that Communism was originally about.
